All-Star Weekend - Saturday Night Contests

Just so we all look stupid, I'm putting up a thread for anyone who wants to predict the outcomes of the Saturday Night Contests....

1. G-E-I-C-O: The Durantula, OJ Mayo & Joe Johnson - Bickel takes... the Durantula.

Here's my main thing here - shouldn't Paul Pierce be in this contest. He defines old man rec moves and I guarantee he could have put together some outrageous shots that he practices... like feigning a knee injury and coming back two minutes later in the NBA Finals... oh wait... i'm not bitter or anything...

2. 3-Pt Shootout: Daequan Cook, Jason Kapono, Mike Bibby, Danny Granger, Rashard Lewis, Roger Mason

I'm taking a final of Mason-Kapono with Roger Mason coming out on top. I'm tired of him sticking it to me when I've doubted him in the past. You've converted me Roger Mason. I will now jam a pair of dull scissors in my eye.

3. Slam Dunk Contest: Dwight Howard, Nate Robinson, J.R. Smith, Rudy Fernandez

In the biggest sham in Slam Dunk Contest history, Nate Robinson won in 2006. It was a travesty. Obviously, Iggy Hop should have won that year. Also obvious, Dwight Howard should have won last year... and he did. I'm just excited to see what crazy stunts he pulls off this year.

I'm predicting a Dwight Howard victory and a Rudy Fernandez last place finish (there's a reason you're going off at 5:1. You should have been in the G-E-I-C-O contest, the League must have sent you the wrong memo and were too embarassed to fix the mistake.)

That's what I got for now....

(also, I probably just jinxed Durant, Mason and Howard - and for that I apologize)

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!

RUDY FERNANDEZ HAD THE BEST DUNK OF THE ENTIRE NIGHT!!!

Criticize for the misses. But, it was better than anything Nate or Dwight did all night!
